Review of the Equity Funding that needs to be allocated by the end of the fiscal year.

The goal of the funding is to address the equity gaps and assist students.

In the Equity Plan funds were allocated to various departments/divisions.

Funding needs to be for Equity services only, cannot overlap with SSSP funding.

Suggestions:

Books

Speakers

Conferences/workshops

More Outreach to students about SSSP rules

Updates from Teams

SSSP

1. Orientation – Spatafore, Ranck

Receiving proposals from vendors and working with District ETS.

2. Assessment – Mieso

A second retesting study is set for spring quarter. After this session the data will be analyzed to see if this is something we want to continue.

De Anza will be participating in two state pilot programs:

Common Assessment

Multiple Majors

3. Comprehensive Ed Plan – LeBleu-Burns

We need to get a handle on the changes the SSSP Plan requires versus what we used to do.

Look into determining the flow for different students at different levels of the academic process.

Relationships need to be built with our student body and connect them to our services.

Increase our series of interactions with students.

Give access to faculty so they can see where a student is in the process and to assist using the correct SARS codes.

Start looking into what we can do to be better prepared for next year.

4. Follow-up/At Risk Students – Burgos

Burgos met with the probation team and is still reviewing the probation codes in SARS for the SSSP funding. The discussion is continuing if they want to make any changes to the codes or procedures.

Santa Cruz explained that currently a student will need to be on probation for five consecutive quarters before being dismissed. We have 5 different levels of probation for students. This year they changed the workshop from level 3 to level 1 and they are noticing improvements. The earlier intervention is catching the students so they have time to turn things around.

5. Technology – Mandy

Researching SmartHires – West Valley and Mission College use it for their work study program.
